August 9, 2013 at 3:22 P.M. An attempt to make corrections of this text at computer #6, Inwood branch, NYPL was obstructed. I will try from my lap-top computer and continue to use public computers at different branches of the library. My copies today are dated 3:02:13 P.M. at 8/9/2013 Inwood printer No. #2. The main printer was out of order; the second was disabled by hackers as I used it.
August 9, 2013 at 8:37 P.M. I am in receipt of another letter from "Brian K. Griepentrog, Ph.D." (this time they spelled it correctly, "Ph.D.") concerning an alleged "IRS Wage and Investment Customer Satisfaction Survey."
The IRS has never actually heard of this outfit, nor does that agency send out surveys to "customers" requesting personal financial information, nor indirect payment to such an entity.
I wonder how many immigrants have received such letters from these people? Unfortunately, the IRS may be required to LIE to protect whoever is behind this nonsense. (Mr. Menendez?)
I will send this letter -- from the same people responsible for "Publish America" letters and other similar communications -- to the appropriate government agencies. I am sure that "Kimberly Salazar" can handle this matter in New York. I will do the same with any future letters from these people whose stupidity suggests New Jersey origins for these strategies.
Why continue to send me this bogus letter and survey seeking illegal discovery? My conclusion is: 1). the goal is to communicate that these people are beyond the FBI or IRS, or any legal constraints since the Arlington, Virginia address suggests a possible intelligence involvement or affiliation with politicians; 2). harassment value is intended to cause me to give up out of frustration (I doubt it) all efforts to obtain the truth about New Jersey's crimes; and 3). the implication is that I am being "monitored" by government and should be frightened about reprisals.
Despite my experiences of tainted proceedings, I am not intimidated about making use of my Constitutional rights. This level of stupidity among government agents is what should frighten all of us.

Among the casualties of America's so-called "War On Terror" is freedom of speech.
An all-out war on disclosures and leakers, on the privacy and content of expression of persons writing on-line has created a "climate of fear" in America for anyone expressing controversial, minority, or radical views. We have become a frightened people, following government orders, sheepishly and ignorantly, suppressing dissent and destroying dissenters. ("How censorship works in America" and "What is it like to be censored in America?")
"The federal government is prosecuting leakers at a brisk clip and on novel theories. It is collecting information from and ABOUT journalists, calling one a criminal and threatening another with jail. In its failed effort to persuade Russia to return another leaker, Edward J. Snowden, it felt compelled to say that he would not be tortured or executed."
The climate of fear for intellectuals, artists, journalists and everyone on-line may explain the bogus letters sent to intimidate me or the unwillingness of law enforcement to respond or deal with the obvious public criminality on display at these blogs. ("Censorship and Cruelty in New Jersey" and "What is it like to be plagiarized?")
I am sure that many persons from all over the world find this glimpse of the U.S. legal system and its "ethics" interesting. Perhaps this "educational" aspect of my on-line experiences is exactly what New Jersey officials fear. ("Law and Ethics in the Soprano State.")
The tortures and surveillance that have come to define America to the world have caused great harm to this country. All media in America is threatened today.
This climate of fear may explain why journalists seem to have so little control over politicians' or police insertion of paragraphs in articles appearing in print media. I cannot accept that this now common practice comports with journalistic or legal ethics. ("New Jersey's Unethical Judiciary" and "New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics.")
Jill Abramson, David Remnick, and others in American media may be unwilling captives of the paranoia that has led to the creation of our National Security State (NSS), which has rewritten or ignored the First Amendment. ("New Jersey Supreme Court's Implosion.")
Please understand that, if N.J. officials and their friends can get away with these cybercrimes and censorship -- offenses that you and all readers have witnessed! -- others writing Internet texts will be harassed and attacked in similar ways on the basis of their opinions.
"Providing classified information for mass distribution" -- according to the U.S. government's theory -- "is a sort of TREASON if the government can prove the defendant knew 'he [the journalist] was giving intelligence to the enemy.' ..."
This remarkable theory of the First Amendment emerged in Pfc. Bradley Manning's case, where the prosecution failed to meet its burden. However, the theory was deemed valid, so that it may prevail in other cases.
With the closure of American encrypted e-mail sites today, it becomes clear that all sources of information are monitored and copied. Americans' e-mails are read by NSA operatives with regularity and without warning. All denials from intelligence agencies are, in their own words, "the least untruthful responses" (James Clapper) to questions from Congress.
Journalists, often in the pay of government or willing to do "favors" for officials, are assisting in espionage on their colleagues and fellow citizens as well as themselves.
Not surprisingly, N.J. lawyers also inform on colleagues and steal cases from envied fellow professionals at the request of the OAE, perhaps for a small fee that is shared with Trenton's bureaucrats or judges by way of under-the-table payments. ("Have you no shame, Mr. Rabner?" and "No More Cover-Ups and Lies, Chief Justice Rabner!")
"In June, David Gregory asked Glen Greenwald a question in a similar vein on NBC's 'Meet the Press.' Mr. Greenwald had written articles on government surveillance for The Guardian [sic.] based on materials from Mr. Snowden, a former National Security Agency contractor. ..."
Notice the focus of this inquiry:
" ... 'To the extent that you have aided and abetted Snowden, even in his current movements, why shouldn't you, Mr. Greenwald, be charged with a crime?' Mr. Gregory asked."
For any journalist to ask this question makes the reality of corruption or duplicity obvious: This is for the press to place its own neck on the chopping block.
Mr. Greenwal pointed out that the premise of Mr. Gregory's question was flawed:
" ... every journalist in the United States who works with their sources, who receives classified information, is a criminal [according to Mr. Gregory's assumption.]"
Such a theory heralds the end of democracy in America with the loss of freedom of access to information about GOVERNMENT criminality and the forced abandonment of free speech in protest against such state crimes. ("New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead" and "Is Union City, New Jersey Meyer Lansky's Whore House?")
I can never be certain of returning to this blog. If more than two days pass without alteration of these texts, it means that I am prevented from writing against my will. I cannot access my e-mail accounts or make use of images on-line. Please direct all threats against me, not my family members.
